The Dog Whisperer

While Mr. W was out walking our pups the other night, he spotted a little dog wandering down the block.  He did the only thing he could possibly do.  He picked it up and brought it in the house.  It was raining terribly hard and the poor little thing was shaking like a leaf!

There was no collar on the pup, yet we were sure we had seen him in the neighborhood before.  I took his picture and sent it out to all my pet-friendly neighbors.  No one recognized him.

Well, you know how some people get in their car and look for a lost dog?  Mike got in his car and started driving around the neighborhood looking for the owners of this lost dog.  He was sure he would spot someone, walking in the rain, looking for him.  After about 15 minutes, he arrived back home and picked up the now dry pup.  Yes, he found the owners and returned him safely to his family.

He truly is a friend to all animals.... Reason #1002 that he is Mr. Wonderful.

Cure for Insomnia?

We had visitors at the house last week.  My sister came up from Florida and my mom came in from Guam (or some other God forsaken City in Eastern Long Island). 

It was so nice of the kids to stop by during the week to visit, too.  Allison took a few days off and even had a couple of her local friends visit, as well.  It was a cooking, eating, drinking party for several days. 

I am glad my mom and sis had such a nice vacation.  I went to work each morning, but left early each day - just to find the two of them still in their pj's when I got home!  Afterall, THEY were on vacation!

I think I discovered a cure for my insomnia while they were here.  After a long evening of good food and wine, I slept like a baby.  The next night was more food and assorted cocktails, I slept all night through.  Another night was more wine and lots of laughs.  I suffered my insomnia again when my guests headed home.  I guess having my sister around is a sure bet for a full night's sleep!

Looking forward to my mundane life this week.  Mr. Wonderful and I are very happy just being in our home together.  Sometimes, the serenity is just so soothing.
